A Convict's Farming Life in the Frontier Town

When people transmigrate, they usually become nobles, talented scholars, beautiful ladies, or at least wealthy merchants' daughters. At worst, they end up as farm girls.

But the moment Wei Siyun transmigrated, she found herself a convict exiled to the southwestern frontier, with a broken right hand and a future of hard labor until she died.

Fortunately, her left-handedness from her previous life came with her. Thanks to her ability to write with her left hand and do accounts in her head, Wei Siyun was promoted to a clerical post.

The good news: no more hard labor. The bad news: only for now. Her immediate superior was about to be transferred, and sooner or later she'd be sent back to hard labor. Once she reached the required age, she'd also be forced into marriage, unless she could pay to arrange her way out.

And so Wei Siyun embarked on a path of earning money while seeking to clear her convict status.

She boiled cheap sweet potatoes into syrup, dried unwanted persimmons into cakes, moved wild mushrooms growing in the mountains onto logs, and turned worthless wasteland into fields stretching across the hills.

Her savings slowly grew, and the land she had developed with her own hands helped her clear her status and turn her life around.

Wei Siyun traveled a long road, but one person stayed by her side all the way.

Once, she gave him a jar of meat, and he repaid her with a bundle of firewood.

Later, they joined forces to make a life together.

In the end, he married her, and she married him.
